of the law. the wall is suppose to be the profession. if you are a member you are not satisfied with turning about. you know you have something special and you owe it to your community to use your talent to help make things a little better for others. i think another that commit herself to public service to make a living is necessary but also to remember the people that get what they need in their representation and will not have it unless you care. so they say i will do my job and i will collect my fees and i'm not interested in the rest of the world. i did not consider that person a true professional. >> we will do our best. i can't think he enough. this has been delightful and a treat for everyone here. let's all thank you for your time.

this in fact is the law. we can change the law. and senator wyden had something to do with section 704. he did in fact change the law to put additional privacy protections in, and those privacy protections are up for reauthorization in this bill. i'd like to address myself, if i could, to what senator merkley said in his comments. i listened carefully, and what he was saying was opinions of the foreign intelligence surveillance court should in some way, shape or form be made public, just as opinions of the supreme court or any court are made available to the public. and to a great extent i find myself in agreement with that. they should be. why can't they be? because they mix the law and the particular circumstances, are mixed together in the opinion. and so the particular circumstances are possibly classified. they may be names, they may be -- who knows what they are, but certainly the opinion can either be written in a certain way for public release or the attorney general can be required to prepare a summary of what that opinion

i'm cognizant that this area of the law is complex. it's full of changes and full of instances in which we have to undertake a very delicate balancing act. nevertheless, much work remains to be done to ensure that the fourth amendment protections are here and that they are real and that they benefit americans and that they do so in a way that doesn't interfere with legitimate law enforcement and national security activities. we must not shy away from the task simply because it is hard. it is daunting, but it is possible and it is necessary. congress must act to preserve americans' constitutional right to be secure in their persons, their papers and effects and against unreasonable searches and seizures. thank you very much, mr. president. i note the absence of a quorum. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: will the senator suspend his request? the senator from montana. mr. tester: mr. president, thank you. i want to visit about the fisa amendments act, and i want to thank senator wyden for his leadership on this issue and f

in fact, doing so would be a violation of law. here's the key point to understand about incidental collection: although the government may, under the right circumstances, be authorized to retain the communication between known terrorists and presumptive u.s. person or persons, including the phone number he relayed to the terrorist, the government cannot place the united states number on surveillance and start collecting the calls to and fro the u.s. number without first obtaining a court order or a warrant. to do so would be to target a united states person, which i'll explain is reverse targeting. can the government use section 702 to target a u.s. person? this is important. and the answer is no. the law specifically prevents direct collection against u.s. persons. this prohibition is codified in 702-b which states that the section may not be used -- and i quote -- "to intentionally target any person known at the time of acquisition to be located in the united states or to intentionally target a united states person reasonably be
